Ingredients
Scale
4 cups brewed black tea
2 ripe peaches, sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons honey (optional)
4 cups sparkling water
Ice cubes
Instructions
Brew the black tea and let it cool to room temperature.
In a pitcher, combine the cooled tea, sliced peaches, mint, basil, and honey (if using).
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, add the sparkling water and stir gently.
Serve over ice and garnish with additional mint or basil if desired.

For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of honey to taste.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme.
This drink can be made ahead of time; just add the sparkling water right before serving to keep it fizzy.
